Ed Snodderly

The Tennessee native looks a bit like Doc from Back to the Future with shorter hair and Buddy Holly glasses. His voice is the sonic equivalent of an old denim shirt, creased and worn and reassuring. He makes a primitive banjo and drums sound like the most obvious combination in the world. The guitar accompanies most of his work and it easily changes from old-time Carter family style to avant-garde then back round again. It’s possible that Ed Snodderly was put on Earth just to remind us how delightfully weird folk music can be.
